What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind chill advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS La Crosse, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill advisory went out at Feb 8, 5:08 AM CST, 6 hours 50 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 8, 5:08 AM CST, 6 hours 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
508 AM CST Fri Feb 8 2019

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 311 AM CST Fri Feb 8 2019

Water vapor imagery early this morning shows the upper trough
responsible for yesterday's snow continuing to rotate northeastward
with the associated surface cyclone strengthening across eastern
Canada. Meanwhile, surface high pressure is building south across
the northern plains with a fairly tight gradient between the
high/low pressure systems supporting gusty west to northwest
winds and strong low-level cold advection early today.

For today, despite plenty of sunshine for much of the area, a
fresh snowpack and modest 1000-850 mb cold advection will keep
keep temps from climbing much with highs in the single digits on
either side of zero. Northwest winds will gust in the 20 to 25 mph
range at times before slackening later in the day with the
approach of the surface ridge, keeping wind chills in the -10 to
-25 range through the day. The wind chill advisory remains in
effect though 18Z. Although wind chills should gradually improve
through the day, some locations especially west of the Mississippi
may remain in the 20 to 25 below zero range into the afternoon.
Tonight will be quite cold with the surface ridge axis passing
overhead with lows in the teens to possibly 20s below zero over
typical cold spots. A wind chill advisory may be needed once
again.

The upper flow quickly becomes west/southwesterly on Saturday with
some increase in cloud cover with mid-level warm advection ahead of
an approaching shortwave trough. Highs will recover back into the
teens.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 311 AM CST Fri Feb 8 2019

The active weather pattern will resume for the second half of the
weekend into early next week within a progressive flow regime.
First, the aforementioned upper shortwave trough will eject from
the central plains on Sunday. Deep synoptic lift with the
shortwave trough will lead to increasing snow chances. There are
hints in some of the model solutions for snow to be enhanced by
regions of mid-level frontogenesis. Right now consensus favors
areas near and south of I-90 for 1 to 3 inches of snow, but if
banding occurs, locally higher amounts and possibly an advisory
could be warranted for parts of the area.

A deeper upper trough will take aim at the area for Tuesday.
08.00Z model solutions continue to differ with the strength of the
upper trough and surface cyclone. That said, there is good
general agreement with a surface low tracking into the Upper MS
Valley region on Tuesday with impacts to the local area, but
precip amounts and even ptypes are uncertain. This system will
bear watching through the weekend.

High pressure is then expected to provide at least a respite in the
precip for mid-week, although the broader pattern shows no signs of
quieting down. Temps will moderate back closer towards average early
in the week before cooling down again for mid-week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning)
Issued at 508 AM CST Fri Feb 8 2019

Brisk northwest winds will continue today, tapering off through
the afternoon. Otherwise, VFR conditions expected through tonight
as high pressure builds into the region.
